🧠 Fun Fact
The 1979-P Wide Rim was not widely recognized as a distinct variety until years after its release — most were spent in circulation before collectors realized what they had. The Wide Rim is significantly scarcer than the Narrow Rim in all grades, but especially so in Gem Mint State. PCGS has graded far fewer MS65 Wide Rim examples than Narrow Rim, making this a genuinely condition-rare coin for the series.
